Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, then drain.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion for 5 minutes, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are browned.
  • Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan until smooth.
  • Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 4 noodles over the sauce.
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the spinach mixture, and a third of the marinara sauce. Repeat the layers.
  • Top with the last 4 noodles, spread remaining marinara sauce overtop, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbling.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Allowing the lasagna to rest before slicing makes it easier to serve. Use fresh cheese for best results.
